I'd really like to add this to my current mod soup mix, but I've several questions first. I apologize in advance for these questions, as part of my mind says I should already know the answers, and another part of my mind says I should be able to figure the answers out based upon the mod-supplied readmes and instructions. Unfortunately, the bigger part of my mind (and the one that would up having me disappear for a number of years) no longer is capable of doing these things.

I've already minorly borked up my mod installs somehow by incorporating the necessary tweaks for Hsie's or Stiebler's hardcode fixes. So far those foobars have been relatively minor, such as the repetitive blank radio transmissions, floating flak towers at Kiel, and mis-sized new buttons. HW3 is graciously spending some time looking into the flak tower one for me.

My bigger questions regarding the "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" mod are:

Is there a particular order, relative to the mods I already have, this should be activated via JSGME?
What effects (positive or negative) should "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" have (especially sound related; ex. SH3.sdl) regarding the current mod setup I have?
I also have questions about the mod itself:

The mod has one main folder: RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03. Usually for mods I import, then activate, it via JSGME. However, usually mods have the file architecture of "MOD NAME\DATA\xxx"; RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 does not. Instead, within the folder RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 are subfolders:

for GWX 1_03,
Live_AI_ships_sounds,
Optional,
Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03, and,
tweakfile.

My understanding is that I won't need "for GWX 1_03" as I'm already running GWX (Gold) 3.0. I will (obviously) need to import the subfolder "Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03" and then activate it in order to run the mod itself. I won't need "Optional" (Torpedo_damage_Final) as I already have that as a mod on its own. However, I'm not at all sure what, if anything, I should, or need, to do with "Live_AI_ships_sounds".

There are also the text files:

How do I know if I setup new sounds correctly,
I want sound on a ship!,
I want the starshell gun on a ship!, and,
Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03.

Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 is self-explanatory; its the readme regarding the mod itself. The other three seem to be similar, but applicable only for those desiring to create new (or modify pre-existing) ships, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy missive, but my mind really isn't running at peak efficiency anymore, and I really could use all the help I can get.

Danke.
